Mayor Wesely

City Council MembersFellow citizens:

I am pleased to submit the 1998 Annual Report of the Lincoln Police Department. Thisyears annual report is a valuable reference for data about the departments activities andworkload, and gives us the opportunity to highlight some of the significant events andchallenges of the past year. We can report that despite robust growth in the City, we haveavoided significant increases in crime. In fact, for the third consecutive year, the number ofFBI Index Crimes fell in Lincoln during 1998. Nonetheless, we continue to be concernedby signs of trouble looming on the horizon. Substantial increases in armed robberies,coupled with unprecedented drug arrests and seizures lead us to believe that now is notthe time to be complacent. Despite these concerns, a number of accomplishments during1998 are noteworthy:

• The police department has fully implemented five citizen advisory councils toinvolve our customers in our decision-making process.

• We have dramatically improved our capabilities with ACUDAT, a computer-assisted crime analysis process.

• Officers conducted an increasing number of high quality problem-orientedpolicing projects. Efforts to reduce the impact of large drinking parties on coreLincoln neighborhoods proved particularly successful.

A considerable amount of planning work during 1998 haspoised the department on the brink of significant change thatwill be forthcoming in 1999. A major reorganization into fiveteams is beginning in 1999, the installation of mobile dataterminals in police cars is imminent, and construction is wellunderway on a 27th and Holdrege substation and a newheadquarters facility. These changes will help equip us for thecontinued growth of Lincoln. I am immensely proud to leadthe women and men of the Lincoln Police Department as weprepare for the dawn of the new millennium.

Thomas K. Casady, Chief of Police

ACUDAT

Early in 1998, LPD began using the Citysgeographic information system (GIS) for crime analysis.The process, nicknamed ACUDAT, involved the pro-duction of extensive maps showing hotspots for crimessuch as burglary, robbery, larceny from auto, autotheft, and indecent exposure. Officers immediatelysaw the results of timely geographic crime analysis.Patterns that would have remained virtually invisible,buried in reams of green-stripe computer paper, simplyjumped off the map when displayed graphically.

This technologically-enhanced twist on thetraditional police pin map became a department staplein short order. Crime maps were posted everywhere.By June, police commanders and supervisors weremeeting with the Chief at evening ACUDAT worksessions held to review current crime trends eachmonth. Invariably these meetings uncovered patterns

that were heretofore unrecognized, and on several occasions officers recognized similar modusoperandi that connected crimes and suggested common suspects. A number of multiple clearancesresulted from ACUDAT during the year, and several successful problem-oriented policing projectsemerged from trends identified through ACUDAT.

LPD made presentations about ACUDAT at the Nebraska Law Enforcement ExecutivesConference in Kearney, and at the annual conference of the Regional Community Policing Institutein Kansas City. In August, LPD was visited by Noah Fritz, from the Crime Mapping and AnalysisProgram of the National Law Enforcement Technology Center, to observe our program. Throughoutthe year, the department made numerous presentations to neighborhood associations and commu-nity groups.

ACUDAT provided valuable management information on a number of topics, includingplans to create an additional police team. Calculations of workload and personnel distribution thatwould have been quite tedious were vastly simplified by the application of GIS technology. Thisallowed planners to examine scores of what-if scenarios. ACUDAT promises to improve even morein the future, and become a significant new weapon in the departments crime-fighting arsenal.

EXEMPLARY PROGRAMS

12

Child Advocacy Center

The Child Advocacy Center is a privatenon-profit facility located in Antelope Park, near33rd and Sumner Streets. The mission of theCenter is to provide Lincoln and LancasterCounty with a coordinated, multidisciplinaryapproach to the problem of child abuse.

In November of 1994 the police depart-ment began its involvement with the develop-ment of the CAC by assisting in the implementa-

tion of medical examprotocol. In 1995 ChiefTom Casady was amongseveral local officials andadvocates who attendedtraining in Huntsville,Alabama on the devel-opment of a childadvocacy center in acommunity. Energizedby their experience, theparticipants were

committed to initiating a child advocacy centerin Lincoln. After visits to centers in severalcommunities around the country, the task forcedeveloped a plan to meet the needs of Lincoln.Mayor Mike Johanns, Chief Casady, Sheriff TerryWagner, and County Attorney Gary Laceychaired the capital campaign.

The police department has been in-volved in planning, fund raising, policy develop-ment, and other efforts to make the ChildAdvocacy Center a reality. At a Fall Festival fundraiser, The Lincoln Police Union donated a biketo be raffled, members of the department servedas volunteers, the Police puppet show enter-tained the kids and Chief Casady, A/CPeschong, and Captain Rowe all took their turnson the dunking booth. In 1998, The LPD CarShow for Youth donated proceeds to the ChildAdvocacy Center.

We are proud to have played an impor-tant role in this most worthy community project,and to have helped the Child Advocacy Centerbecome a place where small voices can beheard.

Citizen Advisory Councils

During 1998 the police departmentcompleted the implementation of citizen advi-sory councils, a process begun by the North-west-Center Team in late 1994. Each of thedepartments community police teams now hasan advisory council comprised of citizens wholive or work in the teams area of responsibility.These community members provide input to theteam captain and sergeants on a variety ofissues confronting the department. Teamsexplore issues with their advisory councils thatwould previously have been decided in policestaff meetings, without citizen input. Theadvisory councils provide a mechanism forcitizens to participate in the departments impor-tant decisions, and for citizens to express theconcerns and ideas of the group they represent.Teams have sought advice from their advisorycouncils on issues ranging from the location ofsubstations to the appropriate strategies forcombatting underage drinking. The departmenthas made a significant advance by integratingcitizen involvement into decision making.Utilizing citizen input in our decision-makingprocess is a major enhancement to communitypolicing in Lincoln.

Problem-Oriented Policing Projects

In late August, the team initiated a special enforcement project aimed at curbing underagedrinking, sales of alcoholic beverages without a license, and disturbances at large parties. A squadof seven officers was made available to respond to large parties. Uniformed officers worked inconjunction with undercover officers who infiltrated parties where illegal activities were occurring.During the first four weeks of September, the special project conducted on six nights, resulted in 91citations and arrests. As a result of the special enforcement the police department has had a dra-matic decline in complaints of disorderly parties in comparison to the same time in 1997.

In December officers initiated a second project aimed at curbing the availability of alcohol tothose under the age of 21. This project involved sending minors into several package liquor storesand taverns in the Team area on a compliance check to see if these establishments would sellalcoholic beverages to a minor. The goal of the project was to educate businesses and make it moredifficult for minors to obtain alcohol. Of the 55 establishments checked, 6 sold to the minors, 49 didnot. Four persons were also arrested for procuring alcohol for minors.

Police Youth Advisory Board

In January 1998, a number of students from the five Lincoln high schools began meetingmonthly during the school year with the NWC team Captain and officers as a Police Youth AdvisoryBoard.

SOUTHWEST TEAM

Community Involvement

This year the team created the Southwest Citizens Advisory Group. The group held threemeetings during the year and discussed issues relating to police action at Westminster Church, illegalactivity in the parks, liquor compliance checks, and a variety of other issues affecting the team area.Exchange of information and input from the group allowed us to formulate, alter or validate ourapproach to handling these and other sensitive issues.

Problem-Oriented Policing Projects

A densely populated neighborhood in the Southwest Team area was experiencing consider-able illegal activity, such as drug deals, larcenies, and burglaries. Officer Brandon Vakiner and aneighborhood volunteer distributed 1,100 fliers inviting residents to a meeting. Seventy citizensattended and shared ideas on how to improve the neighborhood. The most productive project thisyear resulted from the efforts of the third shift officers to address the increase in larcenies from autosand thefts from open garages. The officers used a crime prevention approach, distributing fliers onunlocked vehicles and open garages. At the completion of the project there was a significantdecrease in larcenies within the team from the same period of the previous year.

Continued Commitment

The Southwest Team continues to increase their presence in the neighborhoods by havingofficers and supervisors from all shifts attend the monthly meetings of the 11 neighborhood associa-tions on the team. This allows officers to meet residents being worked with and to hear first handthe concerns people have and enable officers to find solutions to neighborhood problems.

Summer Fun

In June, the Southeast Team School Resource Officers, led by Officer John Amen, spent twoweeks conducting a summer camp for kids at Millard Lefler Middle School. The camp, SummerFun, provided a structured curriculum including field trips, classroom instruction and fun activities.Thirty children, selected from elementary schools within the Southeast Team, attended the camp.

Neighborhood Watch Forum

In November a forum for the Southeast Team Neighborhood Watch Coordinators was heldat the Bryan/LGH East Medical Plaza. The purpose of the forum was to update coordinators oncrime trends, discuss areas of concern and answer questions. The forum, attended by nearly 100people, included a presentation and panel discussion led by team supervisors.

Problem-Oriented Policing Projects

The Southeast Team conducted 58 problem-oriented Policing (POP) projects last year, morethan any other team. POP projects are designed to impact repetitive problems that require specialneeds by implementing specific strategies. These projects ran the gamut from an O Street Detail(designed to deal with late night trespassers), to a detail in Woods Park to deal with illicit activities.Officers also made over 200 proactive contacts at business in the Southeast Team area to updateinformation needed for responding to open doors and alarms. The members of the Southeast Teamremain committed to solving problems by putting our community first.

NORTH CENTRALCOMMUNITY POLICING PROJECT

In January 1998, a year-long project withthe goal of unifying police services andenhancing police-community relations in theMalone, Hawley, Clinton, and Hartley neigh-borhoods was started. This project was acooperative effort of the Northwest-Centerand Northeast Teams. Neighborhoods Inc.allowed the police department to use one ofits renovated houses at 3047 R Street as asubstation during the project. The project wasvery well received in the area and an openhouse hosted in early May was very wellattended by neighbors. A primary objective ofthe project was to initiate problem-orientedpolicing (POP) projects to impact the problems

identified as most serious by area residents. Each project officer was assigned as a liaison with oneof the community centers in the project area.

In addition to a survey at the start of the project, an assessment survey was conducted at theend of the year. These results showed that the project was highly successful. Seventy-one percent ofthe respondents strongly agreed or agreed that project officers impacted and reduced some ofthe problems identified as most serious.

The North Central Policing Project was a fine example of the departments commitment tocommunity policing. As a result of our experience, serious discussions began about the desirabilityof creating a fifth police team to provide more focus to the specific issues within neighborhoods.After extensive planning and community discussion, LPD has decided to implement a new CenterTeam in early 1999, accompanied by the construction of a Center Team Police Station at 27th andHoldrege Streets.

Truancy Prevention Project

In an effort to reduce juvenile crime, the Lincoln Police Department worked with LincolnPublic Schools to keep kids in school. Elementary schools identify juveniles who are missing anexcessive number of days and suffering because of their nonattendance. The schools notify theYouth Aid Unit and an investigator is assigned to contact the parent or guardian. The parents areadvised of the Nebraska law requiring juveniles to attend school and warned that chronic absentee-ism could result in a citation. During 1998, the Youth Aid Unit investigated ninety truancy cases.Data shows that this program has been a very successful intervention in improving attendance.
